Tucked into the foothills of the Rockies lies the charming village of Lumby, where quirky but tolerant townsfolk usually make the best of any situation. Not a week goes by without some humorous mayhem occurring under the watchful eyes of the mayor, sheriff, and, of course, the town mascot, Hank, a pink flamingo who thinks he's a bald eagle...
How Lumby has come to host a hot air balloon festival is a long story, but the town's residents are jumping right into preparations. But in the Lumby tradition, it won't all be blue skies and smooth sailing...
The third installment of Fraser's Lumby series looks in on the Rocky Mountain burg and finds its quirky citizens as busy as ever. In the midst of renovating the inn they've built from a fire-ravaged monastery, Mark and Pam Walker pop over to Saint Cross Abbey to visit the monks who helped them get going. The monks, now nationally acclaimed philanthropists, are struggling to accommodate an influx of seekers-some come for spiritual guidance, others are drawn by the abbey's booming gourmet food business. Across town, Caroline Ross, granddaughter of Lumby's late matriarch, has plans to buy Lumby's deserted train station and transform it into an arts center, but the bustle hits a bump when a high school student, posing as the mayor, secures Lumby's bid to host an annual hot air balloon festival. Lumby prepares to accommodate the scores of hot air-ballooning guests and to learn a thing or two about ballooning. Though this ambling tale takes a while to get off the ground, once the plots start moving, there are plenty of light chuckles to be had. (Jan.)

Tucked into the foothills of the Rockies lies the charming village of Lumby, where quirky and tolerant townsfolk, usually make the best of any situation. Not a week goes by without some humorous mayhem occurring the watchful eyes goes by without some of the Lumby series. What Garrison Keillor did for Lake Wobegon and Jan Karon did for Mitford, Gail Fraser has done for Lumby - a town so heartwarming and endearing, you'll be forever transported. Tucked into the foothills of the Rockies lies the charming village of Lumby, where quirky but tolerant townsfolk usually make the best of any situation.
How Lumby has come to host a hot-air balloon festival is a long story (thanks to a couple of bored teenage entrepreneurs seeking some adventure), but the town's residents embrace their responsibilities and jump right into the preparations. And the monks of St. Cross Abbey bring a visitor from a distant land to help solve Lumby's one seemingly insurmountable challenge: to build and crew the lead balloon in the festival. After trial balloons wreck humorous mayhem across the county, Kai Talin and the mayor's unassuming wife join forces and soon have The Bounty floating gently above the fairgrounds.
While Pam and Mark Walker lend a hand while juggling their own challenges at Montis Inn, love grows between Kai and the daughter of the town matriarch. But can the improbable relationship survive? And can Hank overcome his acrophobia'after all, for a pink flamingo who believes he's a bald eagle, it would be an embarrassment if he didn't ride along on The Bounty's maiden voyage? In true Lumby tradition, blue skies and smooth sailing are always expected but not always guaranteed. While romance grows, cultures clash and balloons crash in town. Pam Walker is tethered to her home with an overwhelming challenge of her own. And all are keeping their fingers crossed for blue skies and smooth sailing.
What a fun and cozy book. Really enjoyed it and found a ton of pleasure while reading it. Highly
Recommend, and hope you have the pleasure I did while reading.
